Last year for Lent I did a half fast, so to speak. I took a lot of blogs that were taking a lot of my time and added them to a "post-Lent" bookmarks list. Surprisingly, I didn't miss them for forty days and most of them haven't found their way back to my google reader. I plan to do the same thing this year – there are so many blogs out there it's so easy to just keep on reading and a lent cleaning seems like a sensible idea. I'm still deciding on what I'm really going to fast from this year (I never decide until the last minute, aka 11.59 on Fat Tuesday).

I gave up the internet for Lent two years ago. It was pre-serious facebook addiction, etc. so it wouldn't have made any sense to follow your steps, but seriously it can be HARD.

I think I might do it again this year, though it'll be harder than ever. Those steps though? Well you forgot step 5.5 which is not knowing what to do on the computer once you get back on. I was like "…Why do people even GO online again?!" after I spent all that time offline. Getting back to it was terribly anticlimactic, and I think rightfully so, considering the whole point of Lent.

Just like smoking – the best way to stop is never to start . . . . at least, until they come up with a patch to ween you off of tweets.

(Hmm, tweeking on tweets . . . . )

I have taken a break here and there. I've never called it a fast because I think it would sound pretentious for me to say it. I still felt a little sheepish reading this post because I have announced it beforehand every time. Though, I like to think it's because it keeps me accountable to it.
